The contract ended today looks like I need a new job Having relevant skills I should find one easy Its only a matter of time before I find one Signing on to the job centre is never fun I didn't think it would take this long Surely im doing nothing wrong? Hours spent looking One interview is all I need Peer pressure is taking its toll Every day is a struggle Loneliness is kicking in Even thinking about moving away Someone please just give me work Sign off my troubles

My friend the good times will come As I write this I feel I am done Hands up high, sing and dance I try to get out this trance I look up and see the stars Instead of endless cars Fool them all with a smile And put on a brave face Why don't I slow down Life is not a race How long can I do this I wonder to myself When im dieing inside And lost life's wealth So I sit here my friend And hope with my heart The good times will come Before i am done

The ocean breeze. Smells salty, but feels so sweet. The shoreline ignites with the sunset. Children play on the beach, so small and carefree. The water glitters and moves with the tide. The birds sing and I feel so alive here staring hearing and breathing in this perfect place.

Don't speak. Don't move. Don't think. Don't dream. Don't hold yourself together. Don't fall apart. Don't pretend it is all going to be okay. Don't act like it won't be all right. Don't touch me. Don't look away from me. Don't be so needy. Don't be so grateful. Don't act silly. Don't be so serious. Don't have so much fun. Don't be so sullen. Don't cry. Don't laugh. Don't smile. Don't frown. Don't love anyone too much. Don't be so selfish. Don't ignore me. Don't love me too much. Don't breathe. Don't exist.... And hope? Hope is just a lie you tell yourself so that tomorrow, you can do it all over again.
